Today, I went on an interview for a job that I had been wanting for months. I thought everything was going great. On my way out, my interviewer asked me to recycle something for him. I agreed. It was my resume. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I had my first job interview in years. While I was waiting for the manager to come out I realized I had forgotten the resume that I had printed out the night before, since he specifically asked me to bring one. FML
Today, while waiting for an interview at the career that I've been spending months tailoring my résumé for, I was thrown up on by my only competitor. Guess who got the job. FML
Today, I was desperately handing out resumes. I came to my local grocery store and asked for a job application, the customer service rep told me all she needed was my resume. I smiled and gave it to her only to see her read it, laugh and put it straight in the garbage as I walked out. FML
Today, I had a job interview. I was almost late due to road closure and being blocked in my street by the trash truck. The "interview" turned out to be a hiring fair, with lots of other people. I had to wait outside for 3 hours in the sun with no shade, water or food. I didn't get the job. FML
Today, I got a call from the only company that asked me to come in for an interview of the many applications I submitted. I answered it even though I was at my current job. My boss heard and chewed me out. The call was to cancel the interview since the position was filled. FML
Today, I went to a job interview. I never applied for the job, they'd sought me out, had a phone interview, and sent samples, all before the face-to-face interview. Turns out none of the people I met with had even read my resume or writing samples. I was told I might not be a good fit. FML
Today, I had a job interview. I had to drop my daughter off with my babysitter first. When I got to the interview, I got a weird look from the vice president of the company. I had lime green poop running down the side of my white blouse. FML
Today, I put in an application to my local market for a job that I desperately needed. I was talking to the manager, he seemed pleased with my application and said he'll call me. As he walks into his private office, I hear the sound of a paper shredder. FML
Today, I had a job interview that I had spent hours preparing for it. When I arrived, the interviewer told me the position had been filled already and they forgot to notify me. I wasted a whole fucking day for nothing. FML
Today, I had a job interview. I didn't have any clothes suitable for the interview, so I went to the store early and bought some there. After the interview, I went to return the clothes, because they were so expensive. The hiring manager saw me. FML

Maybe he didn't need the resume anymore since you had completed the interview? that's looking at it in a very positive way though... depends how he said it and acted... Odds are he was being a douche..... kudos if you kept your cool. I would have been waiting for him to leave the building >:0

When I interview people, the resume always goes into the recycling bin straight away after the interview, whether they did well or not. I've got an electronic copy, the paper just clogs things up and I only needed a print-out at all to have it on hand during the interview itself. Can't say I've ever asked the interviewee to recycle it for me, though.

If you weren't so nosy, you wouldn't have known. If someone asks you to throw something away/recycle it, there's no reason for you to look at what is on it. And like #26 said, there's a good chance they throw away all the print-outs, hopefully you didn't make a fool of yourself in case you still had a chance...

Ok...but don't you think the whole point of the interviewer asking him to recycle it himself was for him to see it was his resume? Besides, if you're going to give any kind of papaer to someone to throw away/recycle and you don't want them seeing what's on it, then you throw it away/recycle it yourself. It's really not that hard.
